The laughter that escaped her lips was music to his ears. He loved that smile, and that laugh - he had fallen in love with that laugh. It still made his heart flutter. But more than anything, he just loved seeing Jezebel happy. That night she had stayed over - she looked tired. Exhausted. But the color had returned to her cheeks and a pale body. Daniel and her rekindling must have worked to some extent. He knew Dan had it in him… the man just needed someone to pull him out of it. If there was one thing Jordan was sure of, it was that Jezebel and Daniel were good for each other. Although, his involvement in Daniel’s apology stayed hidden, only telling Jezebel that Jordan had gotten a text in the morning from Daniel asking for help. Sometimes, somethings were better kept to one’s self. Daniel always had it in him. The details of what got him to apologize didn’t matter.
At her question of what he was doing, he relaxed his posture. “I’m here to…” he started but before he could even finish replying, she had run off back inside - laughter leaving his lips as the girl did so, coming back with the maroon jacket he had put over her shoulder weeks ago.
“I believe this belongs to you”
“That it does - but it looks better on you,” he smiled before taking it back in his hands. “Actually, ironic that you hand me this back…” Jordan started, looking at the suit jacket for a moment. The man had been debating whether to say the next few words from the moment he started driving over to Jezebel’s house. “There’s this… gala tonight. My studio’s hosting it meaning I’m kind of required to go, but it would be so much more fun to have someone to go with that isn’t the dummy I’ve been stuck with for the past few weeks,” Jordan smiled, talking about Riker who had been overstaying his crashing for quiet some time. “If this is too soon, I completely understand. But… would you consider being my plus one? Even…” he sighed with a sad smile, “…even if it’s just as friends. You just… know how to brighten up any room,” he finished.
“Oh - hope you don’t mind. Grabbed you something to eat,” Jordan added in as she seemed to be lost in thought about his question, handing her a chocolate Almond croissant he had picked up from Starbucks alongside a Caramel macchiato. “You don’t have to answer right now,” he continued - finally placing the suit jacket on the back seat. “Take your time,” he added starting the car and driving the car towards where their school was located.
